Can anyone suggest a good game I can download to my PC or play online? I don't have a graphics card which rules out stuff like the Sims.

I enjoyed Zoo Tycoon and Build-a-lot. I don't really want to go down the FB games route as I don't really want to interact with other people in my game.

Any suggestions?

If you liked Zoo Tycoon, you will LOVE Rollar Coaster Tycoon.

Probably the best 'build and manage' type game before PC gaming became nothing more than console ports...

Or if you like trains, Did Miers 'Railroads' is extremely addictive.

Both require a 3d card, but anything upto 6 years old will probably be fine.

Bigjig. Online jigsaw from lenagames.com. There are various games on her site, but my favourite is bigjig. You don't have to buy the programme. If you just download it, then you can also download a free game from her site each week. There's a variety of shapes for the pieces. My favourite is the one with E and M shapes.

Solitaire mahjong - the one from mahjongg.ch is pretty good. Or mahjongtime if you like to play against other people.

Online scrabble. quadplex.com is pretty good. but beware. If you opt for their trial month, (which is quite good if you like to play the special board rather than the traditional one), once the trail period ends if you don't want to pay their steep charges to play as a member (30 euros for six months - I consider that steep) you can't then go back to playing for free as a guest without changing your IP address.

For card games that are variations of patience, my favourite is Solsuite. This one, if you have time to waste, is, imho, worth buying.
